Care and Cleaning

Damaging wool socks during washing is frustrating

Worried about shrinkage? Afraid they’ll stretch out or unravel?

Cleaning is actually super simple—follow this guide, and caring for your wool socks will be a breeze.

【Will they shrink after washing?】
Our wool socks undergo a specialized anti-shrink treatment during manufacturing, ensuring they remain shape-retentive even after extended wear and washing.
▶ Machine washable or hand-wash by soaking and gently rubbing high-sweat areas; water temperature should not exceed 40°C.
▶ Tumble dry on low or air dry in a cool, shaded area. Pro-tip: Turning socks inside out and placing them in a laundry bag helps maintain the fluffiness and cushioning of the interior.

【How should I choose a detergent?】
⚠️ Remember the golden rule: Wool socks contain keratin (the key to their antibacterial and odor-resistant properties), and acidic or alkaline substances can break down these proteins!
Therefore, we recommend: Using a neutral detergent (pH 7). Do not use baking soda (mildly alkaline), soap, products containing bleach or enzymes, or fabric softeners.

	No Cushion
	High-density underfoot cushion layer
	Added cushion in specific areas besides the sole, such as the shin, commonly used for ski socks
	Added cushion in the leg/shaft area besides the sole
	High-density cushion layer throughout the entire sock (including the top of the foot)
